Micro-Loan Program
This is our most exciting program. Recognizing that many nonprofit organizations do not have the resources to incorporate, yet may be able to acquire resources once they are a 501(c)(3) organization, we have developed a very unique micro-loan program designed to help community organizations develop and gain capacity. Through this program, `Āpuakēhau provides its exemplary services and covers the costs of incorporation up front, allowing the organization to focus on its growth and development.
Only select groups and organizations will be accepted for this unique program. Through this program, `Āpuakēhau will provide the services outlined in its INCORPORATION BUNDLE of services AND cover all the fees of incorporation. The organization then has two (2) years from the date of obtaining their 501(c)(3) status to pay `Āpuakēhau's fee.
Fee for micro-loan program: $5,000
